Sen-ryo

One of my favourite sushi restaurants in HK. It is a chain with many branches, but quality is good. The fish is fresh. It is a conveyer belt sushi place, so good if one would like a quick bite. One can also order a la cart. This particular branch is in the middle of Causeway shopping district.

My friend and I were exploring Hong Kong when we both had a tremendous craving for sushi, and that’s how we ended up at Sen-​ryo. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but very snug. It has both booth and seats next to a sushi conveyor (which we elected for). I grabbed crab sushi and was impressed. It wasn’t salty and it had a fresh taste and consistency. I also ordered the deep fried oysters. They were not too greasy and pretty fresh as well. Additionally, the sauce really complemented the sea flavor of the oysters. My only complaint was that the portion size was smaller than expected. Finally, I had the seared salmon sushi. The salmon is lightly seared on top and has the consistency of raw salmon on bottom. It was a strange combination for me, but having the taste of seared salmon and texture of sushi was truly delicious.
All in all, sen-​ryo is a pretty decent sushi place. It’s a bit pricey and it gets crowded pretty quick, but the food is quality and the service is very good.

How good could sushi be if it is served on a conveyor belt? At Sen-​Ryo, pretty damn good! Came here while visiting Hong Kong and staying across the road at the Park Lane Hotel. For the quality of the sushi served here, the prices are pretty good. The most expensive piece I had was the Kobe beef sushi, which came out to about 7 USD per piece. It was so good though, that I ended up having three pieces!
By the end of my meal, I had a stack of ten dishes in front of me and I was in a state of complete satisfaction and nirvana. HK people know how to eat!

Sen-​ryo has sushi on a conveyor belt. I love watching each dish parade around, looking at all the different colored plates, what they are garnished with, what type of fish it is, what grade, and then finally choosing one and eating it.
It’s just super interactive and fun. I just love it. It’s like combining my favorite two things in life — eating and shopping.
I also like how there is a hot water dispenser at your table, and that you can use the matcha powder to make green tea on the spot.

The resturant has sushi on a belt as well as a la cart items to order. If your selection is not on the belt they can also make it for you. The menu has English as well as Chinese and pictures so you know what you are ordering.
The fish is pretty fresh for being a chain and reasonably priced. Lots of classics, rolls and sashimi.
Only downfall is that the location is small. I was there for dinner. Got there before the rush and still had to wait 20 mins.

In terms of sushi chain restaurants in Hk, Senryo is the best, and this Hysan place location consistently delivers on fresh, quality sushi. In fact the sushi here is better than some of the top sushi restaurants in Los Angeles that I’ve tried. I recommend trying the Seared Olive Flounder sushi and Hokkaido Uni here, but stay away from the cooked and grilled dishes, those are subpar to the sushi and sashimi served here. This place is usually packed with long lines from 7−9pm and the seating on the bar are narrow and uncomfortable, I suggest coming before or after the dinner rush for a more relaxing experience.

I love sushi on a belt. For some reason it makes me feel like they’re free and I would frantically stuff my face with it, and that’s probably why I always prefer to go by myself, and I would always choose Sen ryo.
There are three things I would consider in any Sushi restaurant: cleanliness (this is a no brainer), freshness of the ingredients (ditto, especially for raw fish) and the restaurant’s selection of sake, and overall, sen ryo scores high in the sushi on a belt category.
As a premium Japanese conveyor belt restaurant under HK f&b group Maxim’s, one can be assured that the hygiene standard would be high: the restaurant smells like. nothing: a blessing for mid-​range Japanese restaurants, which often reek of old soya sauce or worse yet, old bleach as the staff are very diligent in cleaning the restaurant but not so diligent in cleaning the rag they use to clean the restaurant with.
As for freshness of the ingredients, Sen-​ryo advertises that select ingredients are flown in from Tsukiji (The largest trading volume for seafood in the world), something usually only high end Japanese restaurants take pride in. The Tsukiji endorsement is a big deal for sashimi lovers like me.
And now for the sake list, granted, it’s not long, but it consists a good 6 – 8 premium sakes and a fair selection of Japanese whiskeys to accompany your sushi. For the sake, they serve it true Japanese style: shot glass overflowing over a wooden crate (the overflow signifies the love or friendship the pourer has over the recipient). So one shot is actually two shots, which is an excellent deal for sake lovers like me.
Why do I rate this location over others? As I mention I like to stuff my face. This location for some reason is always quiet. I never had to call ahead and can get a corner at the belt by myself. If that’s not worth a review I don’t know what does.
